Show Notes: Kiki (formerly Karen) Snyder shares her 35-year journey since her breakdown at Harvard, which landed her in restraints at McLean Hospital during exams in 1991. She discusses being misdiagnosed as severely bipolar, the 32 years she lost to toxic psychiatric medications, and the self she rediscovered. "Karen was full of fear and anger. Karen wanted to speak to the manager. But Kiki's in charge now. I am the manager." Learn more about her transformation on Instagram at @assignedkarenatbirth and at assignedkarenatbirth.com. From Karen to Kiki Kiki elaborates on her transformation from Karen to Kiki. A massage therapist specializing in Somatic Experiencing taught Kiki that our brains lie to us, our bodies know the truth. Kiki's body clearly told her it was finally time to leave the zip code she'd lived in for 50 years. She describes the upheaval of uprooting from Northern Virginia to coastal North Carolina after her mother's passing, and the impact of that change on her emotional well-being. Facing Pain and Healing from Trauma Kiki discusses the debilitating effects of the psychiatric medications she was on for 32 years and her work to taper off them. She describes the emotional numbness and exhaustion she experienced while on these medications. Kiki explains how getting off the medications allowed her to process trauma and emotions, leading to a significant personal transformation. She emphasizes the importance of sharing her story to help others who may be going through similar experiences. A Career in Social Media Kiki recounts her career in social media, including her role at AOL in the early days of the Internet. She describes her work at VeriSign, where she first discovered Web 2.0, which became social media. Her perseverance in the face of resistance resulted in the founding of VeriSign's social media program. Kiki shares her regret at not even considering the offer to relocate to Silicon Valley when the program she founded was moved there. She now realizes that her fear of not being strong enough was fueled by medications and years of being told she was fragile and sick. She discusses her subsequent role at the Federal Aviation Administration, where she founded their social media program. Layoffs and Life Changes Kiki shares her experience of being laid off from her dream job at a big ad agency on the same day she moved to coastal North Carolina in 2024. Her entire division was cut, an early wave of workers displaced by AI. She reflects on the impact of the layoff, leading to a significant life change. Spirituality and Synchronicity Kiki talks about her interest in spirituality, metaphysics, and Jung's concept of synchronicities. She talks about sharing her story with the world and the positive responses she has received from others. Kiki discusses her efforts to let go of control, a trait she inherited from her former self, Karen. A Burner Phone and AI "Therapy" Kiki shares her tips for beating her phone addiction. She installed the BePresent app, which helps her limit wasted time on social media. She recommends Claude, the AI chatbot she uses as a sounding board and where she worked through the grief and anger of losing three decades. And most importantly, a second phone. Every night the real phone stays in the kitchen and the "burner" comes to the bedroom, holding only music, an alarm, and the chatbot. Her advice to anyone trying to put their phone down: Get another phone! Harvard Reflections Kiki reminisces about her favorite classes at Harvard, including Irv DeVore's human behavioral biology class and Helen Vendler's poetry class. She shares her fascination with language and culture, particularly the unique language of Gen Z. Kiki discusses her plans to create new content by translating Shakespeare's sonnets into Gen Z slang. She expresses her excitement about learning and exploring new topics, including spirituality and metaphysics.

Rewind to 9–15 July 2006, when your Top 8 could end friendships, everyone suddenly had an opinion in 140 characters and celebrity reality TV decided skating on knives sounded like a great idea.
Happy Alien Disclosure Day, apparently. The crew greets the government's UAP file dump with the exact amount of enthusiasm you'd expect from people who have been lied to for decades: minimal. From there the conversation takes a genuinely fascinating turn into germ theory versus terrain theory, Lyme disease as a probable bioweapon, and whether viruses actually exist. BB shares a deeply personal story about his own Lyme diagnosis, the nerve damage that preceded it, and the terrifying night he almost did not make it out of the hospital. The debate over antibiotics, holistic medicine, and when to trust the system gets surprisingly nuanced. The second half is pure early internet archaeology, with the crew excavating Mark Gormley, classic College Humor prank wars, rapping for Jesus, and the biscuit song. BB also shares footage of his brother Drake's wingsuit flying, with a heartbreaking note on what happened after the camera stopped rolling.
Today, life screeches to a halt when your wi-fi goes down, but just three short decades ago, the internet was a brand new thing that we had no idea we even needed. In this episode we look back at the origins of the internet and how we experienced it in its early days as young Generation X'ers.

professorjrod@gmail.comRemember the thrill of logging on, the greeting of “You've got mail,” and the sense that a whole new world lived behind a phone line? We go back to the moment when America Online turned the internet from a niche hobby into a daily ritual—then trace how that same empire struggled to adapt when broadband, search, and mobile changed the rules overnight.We start with Quantum Link, the Commodore-era service that quietly sketched the social web before the web existed: avatars, chat rooms, message boards, and downloadable content. That people-first insight shaped AOL's rise. With a friendly interface, big buttons, keywords, and the most aggressive distribution strategy in tech history—those omnipresent CDs—AOL onboarded a generation. Chat rooms ignited communities and culture; AIM taught presence, status, and direct messaging; AOL News, Sports, Music, Games, and Hometown made dial-up feel like a full digital city. Behind the scenes, the company wrestled with an unprecedented scaling problem—millions of concurrent dial-up calls and a nationwide modem network—leading to the infamous busy-signal crisis that defined an era.Then the tides turned. Always-on broadband undercut AOL's dial-up economics, the AOL–Time Warner merger collided with culture shock and the dot-com crash, and search engines—especially Google—rewired how people discovered information. AIM's early dominance faded as messaging moved to mobile with encryption, identity, and cross-device sync. We lay out the timeline, the missteps, and the strategic blind spots, but also the innovations that still shape today's internet: social graphs from buddy lists, status updates from away messages, curated portals evolving into modern feeds, and growth driven by simple design and relentless distribution.If you want the real story of how the web became social—and a clear look at what happens when a platform shift meets a company built for the previous wave—this journey through AOL's rise, reign, and reckoning is for you.

This week on Found, we have an interview from TechCrunch's Strictly VC event in DC. Becca sat down with Steve Case, the founder of AOL to discuss policy, innovation, and AI. Case, now the founder of Revolution Ventures, told the live audience that open access not only helped his company back in the 90s but is also why the internet was able to progress in the way that it did. Regulators should aim for the same goal with AI policy despite the potential risks. He argues that opening up access to horizontal AI players like OpenAI and Google would also help expand AI away from being concentrated on the coasts.

Born from the dorm rooms of American University, Kevin's venture arose during the inception of the internet era, paving the way for a 25-year-long entrepreneurial voyage that witnessed multiple pivots, strategic partnerships, and growth. Our conversation delves into the excitement and challenges of the early days, the evolution from web design to a multifaceted digital entity, and how the company's endurance testifies to its ability to adapt and innovate.Listen in as Kevin shares his entrepreneurial beginnings, starting Effective Solutions during his junior year at college. He narrates how the explosion of internet usage in the mid-'90s and the advent of website creation inspired him to start his business. Notably, our chat explores how he clinched his first customers – a small chain of surf shops and numerous real estate agencies – right from his lifeguard stand at the Jersey Shore. We then walk through Kevin's major business pivots, the journey of transforming from a tech-oriented firm to a private label digital arm for several agencies, and ultimately becoming a full-service branding and marketing agency.In an era that demands constant evolution, Effective Solutions has stood the test of time through strategic transformations, and Kevin's story is a testament to the resilience of businesses that master the art of 'pivoting.' Today, Effective Solutions prides itself as a well-rounded digital arm for businesses big and small, serving as a natural extension to their teams.

Jordan Klepper has heard a lot of 9/11 conspiracy theories at Trump rallies, including this shiny emerald: Osama bin Laden was a CIA operative named Tim Ossman. Together with Dr. Joan Donovan, research director of Harvard's Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy, Jordan unpacks how the early days of the internet and social media have shaped 9/11 conspiracy theories that are still popping up in more places than rallies two decades later. They are joined by veteran and filmmaker Korey Rowe who co-produced “Loose Change,” one of the first viral conspiracy theory films on 9/11. They discuss the legacy of the film, how the right wing has weaponized conspiracy theories for political gain, and what conversations we should be having about the role of the media.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
On this episode of the Panic with Friends, I talk to Jud Valeski, co-founder and former CEO of Gnip. Jud started his career at Netscape right out of college, where he worked for three years. He then went on to AOL, where he worked for nearly seven years. Later, in 2006, in the early days of MySpace, Jud had the revelation that social media was going to be the next big thing. He believed that somewhere amidst the noise, there would be commercial value. Enter Gnip. Two years later, in 2008, Jud founded Gnip, which was later acquired by Twitter in 2014. Post acquisition Jud went to Honey where he spent five years as a General Manager. It's not everyday you get to talk to someone who has had back to back career home runs like Jud, so sit back and enjoy!

Hear that? It's the sound of you waiting 3 minutes for AOL to connect. That unmistakable sound of pure noise that you'll never get out of your head. But hey there's more to the early internet that popping in that AOL disc and logging on! Mike and Neil talk about their second patreon elected episode, Early Internet Experiences, chronicling the period of around 1998 to 2006 when the boys were learning about Funkjunk.com, newgrounds, and learning to play Runescape and care for the Neopets. It was a wild, more primal era of the internet as we know it with no Google, YouTube or social media but hey, we had MySpace and Ask Jeeves okay?

Between those of us who grew up before the internet and those who've never known a world without it, there's a generation of people who came of age *with* the web. This week we chat to the French-Moroccan journalist Marie Le Conte about 'Escape', a book that reflects on the vibrant, chaotic days of the early internet and what has changed since then. We're also talking about Viktor Orbán's money woes and why psychiatrists in Brussels are prescribing museum visits for mental health. Marie tweets at @youngvulgarian. 'Escape: How a generation shaped, destroyed and survived the internet' is out now. You can read about how Hungary's elite made a fortune from EU subsidies here.

Pioneering blogger and science fiction writer Cory Doctorow has been an activist for online freedom since the early days of the history of the internet. He has long been one of the major voices opposing restrictive copyright and corporate domination, and a visionary defending a pluralistic online world where eccentricity and individuality are allowed to flourish. In books like Content: Selected Essays on Technology, Creativity, Copyright and the Future of the Future (which, like all of his books, is available in full for free), Doctorow has shown what an internet created by the people, unconstrained by intellectual property law, Digital Rights Management, and monopolistic corporate gatekeeping, could be like. In this conversation, Doctorow joins to discuss the importance of a democratic internet, and his recent book How To Destroy Surveillance Capitalism, which argues that many people misidentify the main problem with what is called "surveillance capitalism," assuming that the problem is that corporations are amassing to manipulate us the power through intrusive collection of Big Data. In fact, Doctorow argues, the problem is less about a particular thing these corporations can do to us and more about the fact that monopolistic tech companies are in control in the first place. This has important implications, because it means that we cannot just regulate what companies do with our data, we have to fundamentally redistribute power over the internet. In this conversation, we talk about how Wikipedia provides an alternative vision for a participatory internet where the rules are set by users and there is oversight over governance. We do not need better and more benevolent Zuckerbergs. We need what Doctorow calls the pluralistic internet.Cory Doctorow publishes a daily link blog at Pluralistic. His books can be found at his website, Craphound.com, and his archive of posts at Boing Boing is here. His upcoming book Chokepoint Capitalism (co-authored with Rebecca Giblin) can be pre-ordered here. A Current Affairs article about "surveillance capitalism" is here and Nathan's article about the magic of Wikipedia is here.
